Status: offline 		I just got an XTM Terminator, 2.6 hp, my first nitro car. Does anyone know where there any dirt tracks north of Houston? I live in Coldspring, Tx., close to Livingston. I would like to run it with other ppl. I am getting tired of playing by myself.


Thanks,

Status: offline 		Thanks for the reply, ShOzz. How are we going to find that place? I guess the best try is to search the web. If I can find anything I will post it here. I guess I will have to make my own track at my place, all I need is some dirt. I have 2 acres. I wonder how many ppl are in this area that would be interested.


Thanks,

Status: offline 		Hmmm. That makes no sence to me. I could not get any of the pics. I gotta find out where rt.6 is.
I live about 30 miles north east of Conroe, Tx. , out in the boonies.
I think I'm going to build my own track. I live on almost 2 acres and have a nice spot in the back to make one. All I gotta do is find out if there is any demand in this area. I think a free track would be nice if there are ppl to use it.
Thanks for sending me the site.

Status: offline 		i live pritty close to u and i know of 2 maybe 3 tracks and 4 hobby shops that aren't too terrible far. i live about 10 miles west of Cleveland. there are hobby shops in porter-Mike's Hobbyshop (about 20 min drive for me and building on-road now), Woodlands-Just Hobbies( last time i was there they had just built a track), New Caney-K&M Racing(great track with on site shop, about 20 mins. for me), and Larry's Hobbies down in Spring i think(south of woodlands anyway). i've been to and ran my xxx-nt on K&M's track several times. the ppl are very friendly there and usually can lend u parts. tons of pit space and great frequency system. u can get advice from about anyone too.

Mike's Hobbyshop is a great shop. u can get just about any major brand part there. if u can stand the drive, Larry's Hobbies has twice the inventory, but some of the employies(whatever) lack manners sometimes.

Status: offline 		Thanks, RC_Psycho, for the info, it's a help. Maybe the 3 of us can get together and run our cars together.
I don't live in a subdivision, where I live is acreage. I have almost 2 acres with a big back yard. I just got in from running my car now. I am also thinking of building a track back there.

Thanks again,
Bull_831

Status: offline 		would love to hook up when i get there.

i'll be signing off line for about a week while i pack and move until i get a new service provider. so private message me or email me direct at [email]info@worldofozz.com[/email] and when i get back online i'll get back to ya so we can hook up.

how old are you guys and what do you drive?

i have a hyper7 all decked out, an ultra mbx pro and just got my 1st on road but will not be assembling till i move,
also hope to get the savage SS next month.

(i traded for most the cars) the only one i bought is now my sons (he is 5) the hpi RS4 MT (electric).

i will be taking him every other week or so to visit some of his grandparents in New waverly texas and also to some land i have access to up in crokett/grapeland texas (about 200 acers). are either of those near you guys or is that further then where i;'ll be down in spring?

i am more then up for a local bash track. been working on some fun designs myself for one.

Status: offline 		I drive an XTM Terminator. New Waverly is, I guess, 35 to 40 miles from me. My son and I had frogs about 15 years ago. I traded mine for an outbaord motor. My son still has his, but, it needs parts that I can't find. I live about 2 miles from Lake Livingston.


Later,
Bull

Status: offline 		i almost got one of those Xterminators instead of my mbx.
will be cool running with ya so i can see the difference 1st hand.

i decided to go ofna last minute because there are no local hobby peoples out there so i figured getting parts would be a pain in the butt.

lake livinston sounds familiar but i am not sure where it is.
so from 1960/louetta how would you get to your area?

are you towards lake conroe then?

Status: offline 		If you are close to 45, you would go 45 north to New Waverly exit. Go 150 east to Coldspring. I'm about 6 miles from the blinking light. I'm off 222. If you want to see a map go to Yahoo, they have maps for every where.

I kind of wanted an Ofna myself, but I got this car from the shop in Willis at a good price. I am dissabled and have to watch my money. I have a temp. monitor coming from Detroit that cost me less than $30.00, shipping and all.

By the way I am 53.

Later,
Bull
